Which of the two do you believe?" 31: 349:. "The most outstanding event of Scaurus' consulship was his public humiliation of the praetor P Decius Subulo" in which Scaurus ripped Decius' vestments, smashed his curule chair, and forbade cases from being brought to before him, apparently because Decius refused to stand up in the presence of the consul. This was likely a political move: Decius had previously prosecuted Scaurus' ally Opimius. 345:(electoral corruption); Scaurus responded by countersuing Rufus for the same charge. Both were acquitted. He passed a sumptuary law attempting to eliminate certain aristocratic dishes and spending on banquets; he also passed a law on voting for freedmen, of which little is known.
